I have no fancy equipment, personally I do not find the need for the stuff, all done the natural way, look for what you want in the frame to avoid cropping, avoid where possible sunlight in front of the camera unless it is intended, I do not use filters, I do not do photoshop or any of the other edit programs.

Had fun photographing this California Gull (Larus californicus) Fred Henne Territorial Park, Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada. Like I said Gulls are always good practice they don't mind getting their photograph taken.
